Class reps this term from KC Tilly O’Connor & Charlie Prosser, KD Hayley Muscat & Charlie Beal, 1S Dekoda Watmore & Jaylea Drew, 2M Kendra Tobin & Harry Power, 3G Landen Vasquez & Katie Brooker, 4L Malachi Whittington & Mia Hocking, 5W Nick Young & Timothy Kain, 6F Harry Beeson & Jasmin Morton. Congratulations to all class reps on their selection for term 4.
